The Alder & Hearth

The Alder & Hearth began as a simple hunting lodge built by a pair of exiled woodwardens three decades prior. Over the years it grew into a refuge for travelers and displaced folk fleeing conflicts in nearby lands. After a season of cold winters and silver birch blight, Sileth Bramble took over, replanting hedgerows and establishing the herbal steam. The tavern has weathered disputes between local rangers and logging companies, making it a neutral meeting ground where bargains are struck in whispers at the Message Tree.

History

The Alder & Hearth began as a simple hunting lodge built by a pair of exiled woodwardens three decades prior. Over the years it grew into a refuge for travelers and displaced folk fleeing conflicts in nearby lands. After a season of cold winters and silver birch blight, Sileth Bramble took over, replanting hedgerows and establishing the herbal steam. The tavern has weathered disputes between local rangers and logging companies, making it a neutral meeting ground where bargains are struck in whispers at the Message Tree.

Quirks

The tavern keeps a lantern of living moss above the doorway that pulses once for each notable traveler who has stayed overnight in the past month. The barkeep exchanges small favors instead of coin for certain acts — rare seeds, a meaningful message delivered to the Message Tree, or a hunted trophy.

Lore

Local rumor says the grove beneath which the tavern sits was once a druidic waystation tied to an ancient circle called the Heartwood. Some claim the living branches in the common hall are rooted to a dormant seed — the 'Alderheart' — that will awaken and defend the tavern should true danger approach. Hunters tell of silver dust that appears near the Message Tree after a 'wild moon,' a sign said to mean the Old Warden's spirit walks the nearby paths.
